      when i was a kid reading encyclopedias and astrophysics books for educated amateurs (‘cause that’s what i wanted to read…) i arrived in kindergarten where we were literally learning letters from the alphabet one by one it was kafkaesque torture & my teacher called me a smartasshttps://twitter.com/elizashapiro/status/1446435627495530496 …

      BREAKING: NYC to eliminate gifted + talented classes over the next 5 yrs, major change and likely BdB's last big decision as mayor. Kids now enrolled in gifted programs will stay in them, but there will be no more separate gifted classes for incoming kids https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/nyregion/gifted-talented-nyc-schools.html …

      Many of the msot wealthy neighbrhoods with the best education systems, teachers, etc. don't have a G&T. You can basically only access the program at age 4, then you're locked out, and in many cases it's the same amterial, just in a far less diverse classroom.

      I might just be being contrary here, but this is stuff off the top of my head. It's probably(?) right, but I could also be completely wrong and you can probably do your own research on what the G&T actually entails and come to a far better conclusion

      I skimmed a few articles and they're planning on just giving the G&T curriculum (which isn't all that different from a normal curriculum) to everyone now. It really is a good idea to read up before you buy into the outrage lol. Truly no offense intended but your main tweet

      was basically fearmongering at something you'd probably support. I'd genuinely suggest you delete the thread, or at least separate your childhood stories from the beneficial policy change

      hopeless to do at this point. 100k+ hits. i guess people will be like, “i don’t get the point, she never got into a gifted program and then had to flee school? there’s no point to this.” but also for the record i was lucky to escape as i did. my concern is this will close doors

      Replying to @DanielleFong

      I think that you just don't quite understand that the G&T program isn't really an open door. To a genuine prodigy it'd be a fancier cage. It's a slightly accelerated class with kids ranging from like 70th to 99.99... percentile at it's best, and due to the subjectivity

      i think it would be a fine-ish landing spot ‘till bored and then might find other opportunities, but maybe i’m missing something. maybe you’re right and it’s tracked and pressured in a bad way or something. i’m not a product of that or any such program, really. lack groundtruth

          They're planning on giving this curriculum to everyone lol. If it was so different from the regular curriculum that it could hinder any kid, that'd be what the media would be going out of their way to bash DeBlasio about.

          is it actually factually different? or is it like, basically the last two chapters of the book the instructor never gets to
